SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The FAA published a final rule in the Federal Register for Docket No. FAA-2023-1624 (89 FR 90578, November 18, 2024) establishing Class E airspace at Rose Hill, KS to support new public instrument procedures. The effective date for that final rule is December 26, 2024. After the final rule was published, the FAA determined that the effective date did not coincide with the FAA's charting cut-off date. ( print page 95720)

Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This document amends the current version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11J, dated July 31, 2024, and effective September 15, 2024. FAA Order JO 7400.11J is publicly available online at www.faa.gov/​air_​traffic/​publications/​. You may also contact the Rules and Regulations Group, Office of Policy, Federal Aviation Administration, 600 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20597; telephone: [phone].

FAA Order JO 7400.11J lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

Good Cause for No Notice and Comment

Section 553(b)(3)(B) of Title 5, United States Code, (the Administrative Procedure Act) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment procedures for rules when the agency for “good cause” finds that those procedures are “impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” Under this section, an agency, upon finding good cause, may issue a final rule without seeking comment prior to the rulemaking. The FAA finds that prior notice and public comment to this final rule is unnecessary due to the brief length of the extension of the effective date and the fact that there is no substantive change to the rule.

Delay of Effective Date

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the effective date of the final rule for Airspace Docket 24-ACE-7, as published in the Federal Register on November 18, 2024 (89 FR 90578), FR Doc. 2024-26734, is hereby delayed until February 20, 2025.

Issued in Fort Worth, Texas, on November 26, 2024.
